Tracing the Tribe is a blog about Jewish genealogy - All the developments, tools and resources you'll need to peer more closely into your family tree. Created in 2006 at JTA's request, it is now independent.

12 March 2007

Conference co-chairs Hal Bookbinder and Mike Brenner have just announced that the program for the 27th IAJGS International Conference on Jewish Genealogy is now online. There are nearly 100 speakers and some 200 lectures, breakfasts, luncheons, and computer workshops from which to choose. Click “Conference Program” to view the schedule.

From the opening session with Paul Shapiro's comments on the latest access update for ITS Archives-Bad Arolsen records, to the closing Banquet with Dan Rottenberg speaking about the 30th publication anniversary of "Finding Our Fathers," the rich program includes genetics, computing and technology, archival research, research techniques, and SIG (special interest groups) and BOF (birds of a feather) activities.

Complete details of the conference film festival will soon be posted, but see Tracing the Tribe's preview.
